Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- There are several different methods for implementing curricular elements, but fairly few procedures for determining the success of the implementation. The central question is whether the student has mastered the desired set of skills and the expertise that fulfil the ambitions of the original policy documents. This paper presents a procedure for analyzing how ambitions related to education for sustainable development (ESD) are implemented in educational programmes, i.e. how political ambitions are cascaded down to the level that the student meets in the courses. The method was applied to the programmes in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and engineering physics at two Swedish universities. The methodological framework is based on analyses of how ambitions on ESD are handled in texts in relevant documents at different levels and the relation between these. The selected texts were: the national degree ordinance, university policy documents, programme curricula, intended course learning outcomes, and learning assessment texts. While the study is focused on the inclusion of sustainable development competences in engineering education, the presented procedure should be general enough for application to any studied aspect of skills in a programme, in particular when this skill is developed in several different courses. The described procedure can also be used to monitor changes over time.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article presents a critical study of advertisements mainly from banks in Swedish daily newspapers over a period from 1870 to the 1970s. The advertisements aim for the general public and promote savings and loans services and products. The questions of the study include what is pro- moted to whom and how in the advertisements? Also, how is individual money management framed and presented over time in these marketing texts? Besides a presentation of the main results from the study, its critical aim is continuously discussed from three different perspectives of analysis: the textual, practice-oriented and institutional levels. The analysis shows a development from non-addressing of an advertisement reader in the period from 1870 to the 1920s to direct addressing of the reader and also increased mentioning of specific reader groups in the later 20th century period. The advertisements also show a change from simply stating the banks' services and products to actively arguing and invoking direct strategies of persuasion by the use of both verbal and graphic text elements. The critical discussion of the article states the relevance of focusing on the intermingled relations between the textual, practice-oriented and institutional levels in order to relate the results to the socio-economic contexts of the advertisements in their time periods.

Corporate Social Responsibility : A Three Country Comparative Study of the Evolution of a Corporate Discourse Over Time
- 2005
-
Ingår i: IABS 2005 Proceedings. ; , s. 160-165
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports on comparative research on how textual representations of issues related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) in corporate annual reports from Sweden, Canada and the Netherlands have changed over time. The results show a substantial increase on a number of topics that can be linked to the general CSR-discourse in the 2001 sample in comparison to the 1991 and 1981 samples. The rise in the CSR-discourse appears to be related to a drop in other discourses related to issues of social responsibility regarding the social, economic and political development of a company’s native country.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the results from a textual analysis of "Letters from the CEOs" in leading Swedish corporations. The sample consists of letters from annual reports for the years of 1981, 1991 and 2001. The purpose of the paper is to discuss how the textual representations of issues related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) have changed over the period. The results show, not surprisingly, a substantial increase on a number of topics that can be linked to the general CSR-discourse in the 2001 sample. But the rise of a CSR-discourse is related to a drop of another discourse related to social responsibility, in which the CEOs used to comment upon the social, economic and political development of their native country. It is therefore doubtful to claim that business leaders of today feel a larger social responsibility than in the past. In the end section of this paper we discuss the consequences of the shift of responsibilities from a narrower national arena towards a globally dispersed community of stakeholders. It is concluded that the CSR discourse, firmly rooted in a self- regulation philosophy, have not yet emerged as an influential movement in Sweden that affects the overall business conduct in a more substantial manner. The CSR-philosophy seems so far to be a more liberating than restraining factor for those Swedish companies who have moved their operations across the national borders.
